[1]For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.[2]Sing aloud unto God our strength; shout unto the God of Jacob.[3]Take up the melody, and sound the timbrel, the sweet harp with the psaltery.[4]Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day.[5]For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.[6]He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went forth against the land of Egypt. The speech of one that I knew not did I hear:[7]'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the basket.[8]Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah[9]Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto Me![10]There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.[11]I am 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.[12]But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would none of Me.[13]So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.[14]Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would walk in My ways![15]I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries.[16]The haters of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 should dwindle away before Him; and their punishment should endure for ever.[17]They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'
